You could probably just throw out the first infusion of an oolong or something to ditch the caffeine, unless the restriction is incredibly tight to exclude even trace amounts. Something like a vanilla rooibos would be far out of the grassy taste category as well.

My understanding is that the "throw out a short infusion to get rid of the caffeine" thing is a myth, and that to get rid of a noticeable amount of caffeine you'd have to do a pretty long steep that would take a lot of the flavor out as well.

Yeah that's why I mentioned oolong since they handle multiple infusions very well, I thought something like a 3 minute infusion would remove more caffeine than 76% though so that article was an interesting read even if this whole thing is a moot point.
